Dave has called out the reality based community for, as quoted below, "you conveniently ignore that list of 100 evidences of a young earth." I encourage him to address the information Jon linked to below, if he can.

Though, of course, many consilient methods putting the age of the earth much much much older than the YEC proposition that the universe came into existence < 10000 years ago falsifies that proposition. So the lack of falsifiability of that (and other YEC propositions) isn't so much inherent in the propositions themselves, but in the fact that creationists refuse to accept the results of the tests - coming up with one special pleading after another, and when they all get laughed out of court, simply resorting to "someone must be lying".

Exactly. Or like Todd Wood - sure it looks like things evolved, but Genesis so there must be another explanation, and I'm going to try to find out what it is. And Todd is honest about that.

Ham just shoves the data under the rug and covers it up with lies and slander.

No he doesn't. People like YOU do. For example, you conveniently ignore that list of 100 evidences of a young earth.

Who even made the rule that we cannot group ducks and fish together for the simple reason that they are both aquatic? If I want to group them that way and it serves my purpose then I can jolly well do it however I want to and it is still a nested hierarchy and you can't tell me that it's not.
